Purpose. Efficiency of function multiple units park (MUP) as a complex system considerably depends on the modes and conditions of its operation, which is defined as the state of their eigenstate and state of the system content. The purpose is the decision scientifically - a technical problem of system of the content of maintenance operation and repair of a rolling stock. Methodology. Article is devoted to a question of the maintenance operation and repair of a rolling stock of Ukraine. On the basis of theoretical probe, the situation which has developed on maintenance operation and repair of MVPS is analysed. The comparative analysis of a railway, motor and air transportation is provided. On the basis of the analysis and comparison by authors it is offered transition from scheduled preventive to system of service of railway transport to service on an actual state. Findings. According to given theoretical comparison of the put perspective in different types of transport it is possible to note that experience and features of operation rolling stock in allied industries is the base for revision and improvement of system of the maintenance rolling stock, including at various stages of its operation. Originality. This article provides the comparative theoretical analysis, concerning contents and repair system between railway, automobile and by air. Practical value. Introduction new approaches of the maintenance operation and rolling stocks repair will allow carrying out gradual transition from maintenance operation and repairing existing scheduled preventive system in repair system «on an actual state». Thus it is possible maximum cutting-down of number of sudden refusals in operation, providing high coefficient of operational readiness of a rolling stock (to 0.95). A comparative analysis of the maintenance system and repair is the basis of the transition feasibility.
